Green Edventures’ exclusive Tanzania safari offers women an opportunity to explore breathtaking wildlife, build lifelong friendships, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Adventure travel is often seen as a solo pursuit, where individuals strike out into the unknown, seeking new horizons, thrilling experiences, and personal growth. But what if the greatest adventure was not the journey itself, but the bonds you form along the way? Green Edventures, a women-owned eco-tour company, is redefining the concept of adventure travel with its all-women Tanzania safari, an experience that blends immersive wildlife encounters with deep personal connections, leaving women not only with memories of Africa’s stunning landscapes but also with lifelong friendships.
Founded by Tara Short in 2008, Green Edventures has made it its mission to provide transformative travel experiences that empower women. The Tanzania safari is one of the company’s flagship offerings, designed specifically for women over 50 who want to experience the wonders of Africa’s wilderness while also fostering personal growth, confidence, and a sense of community.
“The beauty of this trip is that you come as an individual but leave feeling part of something much larger,” says Tara. “It’s about discovering the world, yes, but also discovering yourself through the shared experiences you have with other like-minded women.”
Solo Adventures, Shared Experiences
While many of the women on the Tanzania safari arrive as solo travelers, they quickly find that they are never alone. The bonds that form between participants during their time on the safari are some of the most powerful elements of the journey. The shared experiences, whether it’s watching a lioness with her cubs or marveling at the vast expanse of the Serengeti, bring women together in ways that transform what could have been a solitary adventure into a deeply connected experience.
“It’s like you arrive at the airport as strangers, but by the end of the trip, you feel like soul sisters,” says one past participant. “I came to Tanzania looking for adventure, but I left with lifelong friends who will always be part of my journey.”
This sense of connection is not just about the friendships forged on the safari; it’s about the transformative power of traveling with a group of women who uplift and empower each other every step of the way. For women over 50, many of whom are solo travelers or first-time adventurers, this camaraderie offers a sense of safety, confidence, and inspiration that extends far beyond the trip itself.
Immersive Wildlife Encounters: A Journey Into Nature
The Tanzania safari offers far more than just the chance to see exotic animals; it’s about immersing yourself in the wild in a way that changes how you see the world. The trip includes exciting wildlife sightings, from cheetahs hunting on the Serengeti plains to elephants roaming freely in the Ngorongoro Crater. But it also offers intimate moments with nature that leave an indelible mark on your soul.
One of the highlights of the safari is a sunrise hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti, a truly magical experience that provides a bird’s-eye view of Africa’s wilderness, where animals roam freely below and the golden light of dawn bathes the land in warmth. These awe-inspiring moments create an emotional connection to the land and the creatures that inhabit it.
“The wildlife is extraordinary,” says Tara. “But what makes this trip so special is that it’s not just about the animals, it’s about how you feel when you see them. You feel like you’re part of something much bigger, something more profound.”
Beyond the wildlife, participants have the chance to immerse themselves in local Maasai culture, learning about their customs, traditions, and deep connection to the land. Every day on the safari is filled with opportunities for education, reflection, and personal growth, making it a trip that engages all of the senses and leaves a lasting impact.
A Journey of Learning and Growth
Green Edventures is not just about adventure, it’s about learning, too. Each safari is designed to provide educational moments that go beyond the typical tourist experience. Whether it’s understanding the geology of the Serengeti, learning about the Maasai’s sustainable farming practices, or gaining insight into wildlife conservation efforts, the trip offers a wealth of knowledge that enriches the journey.
“These are not just trips to check off a bucket list,” Tara explains. “They are immersive experiences that leave you with a deeper understanding of the world and yourself.”
The women who take part in these safaris often find that they return home not only with stories of thrilling wildlife encounters but with new perspectives on the environment, culture, and their own lives. Many describe the experience as one of deep self-discovery, where the lessons learned in nature and from fellow travelers continue to resonate long after they’ve left the Serengeti.
Women Empowering Women: The Green Edventures Community
One of the core pillars of Green Edventures is its focus on women supporting women. Every trip is led by a female guide, ensuring that the experience feels empowering, safe, and inclusive. The company’s commitment to building a community of women who share a love for adventure, education, and personal growth is at the heart of everything Green Edventures does.
“From the moment you arrive, you’re not just a traveler, you’re part of a community,” says Tara. “This isn’t just about the places you visit, it’s about the people you meet, the bonds you form, and the personal growth that happens along the way.”
For women over 50, many of whom may be traveling solo or seeking a supportive group, this sense of community is invaluable. The Tanzania safari offers a space where women can feel confident and supported in their journey, knowing that they are surrounded by a group that shares their passions, curiosity, and sense of adventure.
Sustainable, Responsible Travel
Green Edventures is deeply committed to sustainability and responsible tourism. Every trip is carbon-neutral, and the company partners with local communities to ensure that the economic benefits of tourism are shared and that the ecosystems visited are preserved for future generations. The company’s focus on sustainability ensures that every traveler leaves a positive impact on the places and people they visit.
“We believe that travel should be a force for good,” says Tara. “It should support conservation efforts, empower local communities, and create lasting positive change.”
